midwinter at Paku Paradise

I've stayed here multiple times and the location still leaves a warm and positive impression. Easy access with whatever you need to keep you comfortable, off street parking is always a bonus for unpacking/ repacking. Even in winter you can be warm and cosy as you watch the sea and birds wheeling past. Time it right and you will get to enjoy the sunshine on the ample deck with your glass of wine.
Enjoy the view with your glass of wine.
Wake to incredible sunrises - even in winter!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It’s a cute home on the hill with magical views! It was as described in the listing. Well stocked kitchen and my daughter and husband loved using the binoculars. But the house does creak a lot! And remember to bring your own beach towels.

We really enjoyed our 4 day stay. The views from the house and deck are stunning during the day and by night the stars are amazing! We enjoyed our climb up Paku hill and walk to the beach, as well as trips to Whangamata, Cathedral Cove and Whitianga. The creaks and bangs can be noisy - as mentioned by others - but it wouldn’t deter us from staying again.

Great views. It is a lockwood house so people need to know it is going to make some interesting noises and you are not getting burgled:-). Great place to take a break, handy to Ocean Beach, Whitianga, great places to eat locally as well.

Paku Hilltop. Views forever.

Great property, second time we have stayed and thoroughly enjoyed the location, views, privacy and peace and quiet. Only small negative is the master bedroom really needs new blinds or curtains as the current ones do not provide any privacy. Apart from this and a few scary creaks and bangs being a wooden house, would highly recommend the property for a relaxing break or longer term stay.

Fantastic Views

There was a hiccup on our arrival, the local company contracted to clean change beds etc hadn't come. Both the company and property owner were very apologetic and took steps to make up for the disappointment and the situation was eventually rectified by about 6pm. Being an older Lockwood property the creaks and groans from the property all through the night was a significant distraction to the point I would not stay again.

TAIRUAS BEST KEPT SECRET!

Oh we loved this place so much! The practicalities such as a safe and secure space to park our boat right through to the thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. And the VIEW! It was simply magical being able to have our morning cuppa out on the deck whilst taking in such a gorgeous vista. The bed was comfy and we slept so well. And my partner loved the sound system and the music from the local radio station whilst cooking on the BBQ - magic!! To add to that, the host Michelle was so kind and accommodating and we were so grateful to her and the wonderful cleaners for allowing us a late check out as my partner was quite ill. We will definitely be back again - thank you so much for sharing your little piece of paradise!

Amazing stay at Paku Paradise

The property has stunning views. The property is well appointed, the host has done a great job of providing everything you need for an enjoyable stay. The only downside was the loud noises emitted by the Lockwood cabin, very unsettling, difficult to sleep. The host Michelle was lovely, answered all my emails very promptly. Thank you Michelle.
